The red lipstick I wear stuns
As I sashay and strut down the city
The heads and the faces of the people turn
But I have no care
My mind only focuses on the present
And never the past
My body sways with the wind
As the cold bites my face
The city lights are like a carnival
Around me
They highlight my features
They create beautiful shadows
The people and their energy electrify me
I feel liberated; unchained
My being is left to roam this earth
My soul is left to frolic
My eyes bounce from place to place
And person to person
My senses are going through overload
But I have no complaints
The city captures me
The walk and the talk
The music and the art
The realities and the illusions
The fantasies and the tales
Are all here
But eventually
I fall back into my reality
I realize again
I am just another person in this great
Sea of people
I am just another spirit wandering these streets
